World's Fattest Countries

This South Pacific island has a population of just over 13,000 and is only about one-tenth the size of Washington, D.C. A reliance on imported food and oils from New Zealand and Australia is usually cited as the main cause for the high level of overweight Nauruans. With phosphate deposits covering 90% of the island, there is little room for growing any fresh, native produce.
